Your decision to let her go is the best one you can make right now, and I hope you can stick to it.
Unfortunately for this girl, she's probably in for a world of hurt. Her ex doesn't want her back, he just likes to KNOW he can get her back. He's using her as an ego boost and maybe even to satisfy his more physical urges (sorry) when the mood strikes him, and that's about it.
He's going to keep playing cat and mouse with her while continuing to do his own thing, until one day when he maybe gets tired of it and finally settles down with someone else. The chances of this girl ever getting back with her ex-husband in some kind of stable relationship are slim to none.
Even worse, it's going to take her a long while to realize this. Once she finally does, she'll go out and try to date other people, and she'll be hard-pressed to find somebody as good as you. You were caring, you were understanding, you were supportive, and you loved both her AND her daughter. Guys like that are one in a thousand. Unfortunately for her, your ex will realize this way too late - probably when you're already involved in a relationship with someone else.
That's when you'll get the "oh man, I was sooooo wrong to let you go!" phone call. It's gonna be tough for her.
